Instruction Language vs. Spanish: Key Differences
In Spanish, nouns have gender and adjectives must agree in gender and number, which can alter endings significantly compared to English. For example, "artificial intelligence" is inteligencia artificial, with inteligencia being feminine. Additionally, Spanish uses the subjunctive mood more extensively than English to express uncertainty, doubt, or possibility. For example, "It is likely that AI will improve" translates as Es probable que la inteligencia artificial mejore, where mejore is subjunctive.
Understanding these differences is essential when discussing advanced topics like technology to maintain both accuracy and fluency.
